Three Hours - Nick Drake

Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies

Hoping to keep the sun from his eyes

East from the city and down to the cave

In search of a master in search of a slave

Three hours from London, Giacomo’s free

Taking his woes down to the sea

In search of a lifetime to tell when he’s home

In search of a story that’s never been known

Three hours from speaking, everyone’s flown

Not wanting to be, seen on their own

Three hours is needed to leave from them all

Three hours to wonder, three hours to fall

Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies

Hoping to keep the sun from his eyes

East from the city and down to the cave

In search of a master in search of a slave
